When the project is over and we all say good-bye. It's a wrap!



One last on site task and then it is on to life as we once knew it - two years removed of course... What did you look like two years ago?

Me?

I was 45 pounds heavier and I knew everything already.
Now i am 45 pounds lighter and I know nothing at all.


Long talk tonight with a friend about the nature of the course of events as we define this master's trip to nowhere special....


The analogy she brought forward was that we were our own episode of Big Brother.
(anyone else notice that Julie Chen is far more attractive as she gets older? forgive me, i digress)
We are thrown together unannounced, unitroduced, and for the next 16 months are expected to work together to survive. It must seem incredibly odd to be a boyfriend or a spouse of a member of Big brother and just wonder what goes on there the cameras are not on.

Despite the understanding that no television network would ever film our world (endless hours of people typing at their desk!), the reality is that the type of journey we have been on has an effect onthe ones we leave behind. what are they doing over there? What are those guys like ? What are those women up to ? etc etc - you know the bit.

the answer is simply - nothing much.
But the dynamic of trust and collaboration that has grown between the occupants of Big Brother house UVIC is exceptional.
tomorrow we celebrate.
tommorow we say goodbye. It won't be easy, but we can't say we didn't see it coming.
James Blunt : goodbye my Lover




Carrie Underwood : Wasted


Before you write in all your flak - by request... It's kind of a theme around these parts these days.++++
